When using PayPal for the Utopia Letterpress Print I want people to set their own price. PayPal offers a “Donate” button, but I wasn’t asking for donations. People are purchasing something, they’re just setting their own price for it. These PayPal buttons would not work for Karl Marx.

Uncommon Ground is a sound installation created by Victoria Estok and Steve Lambert – but mostly Victoria. Using stethoscopes against a 5×5 foot planter box, people can hear the plants commentary, discussions, and inner thoughts – which are normally inaudible to human beings.

Is email a distraction? SelfControl is an OS X application which blocks access to incoming and/or outgoing mail servers and websites for a predetermined period of time. For example, you could block access to your email, facebook, and twitter for 90 minutes, but still have access to the rest of the web. Once started, it can not be undone by the application or by restarting the computer – you must wait for the timer to run out.
